Don't judge a book by its cover

Isn't there a saying, "don't judge a book by it's bookcover"?  Well don't judge a dessert by it's dessert-cover!  And don't jump on the dessert-bandwagon!

There was a groupon for Austin Cake Ball, and I thought, wow, these desserts look awesome.  Then I thought, let's just go try them since everyone's been raving about cake balls in general (I personally enjoy oreo balls 10000x more).  I get into the store, and it was a little underwhelming.  I guess because the pictures on the website were so inspiring.  I ordered 1/2 dozen for the price break: (l-r) a german chocolate, carrot cake, vanilla bean, red velvet, chocolate, and peanut butter chocolate.

Let's just skip to the chase...the only cake ball that was worth consuming calories over was the red velvet.  But at that per cake ball price, you might as well spend a few cents more and buying a gourmet red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting....droool.
